About Abbeyfield House

Abbeyfield House in Gatley provides nursing and personal care for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and people with sight or hearing loss. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours, working alongside carers who know the people they look after. Nursing needs including wound care, support with medication, continence care and the monitoring of long term conditions are met on the premises, and we work with GPs and community specialists so that changes are acted on early. Supporting people with such different needs under one roof works only if each person's care is planned individually and staff are trained for the needs they actually support. That is how we run the home, and it is why we spend time at the outset learning about somebody's history, how they communicate and what makes a day go well or badly. The home is meant to feel lived in rather than clinical. Rooms are personalised, meals are cooked here, visitors are welcome and there is company in the day for anybody who wants it. Respite and short stays can be arranged. If you are looking at homes in this area, please telephone us and arrange a visit.
